Well, I'm half way through my first year of studio already--time is just flying by! I've been working really hard and hopefully getting something done...here are some of the projects I've been working on...some of these are just quick studies, and the rest are longer projects most of which are in progress...

So I've basically gone a semester and a summer without updating ... but I'll make this a short one. Basically in my studio I've been focusing a lot on drawing, with a couple small paintings on the side. My main subject has been the figure, sometimes going into a more abstract area that I would like to explore more..

It has been too long since I posted anything for the blog. Here are a few quick paintings that I have been working on over my winter break. The two paintings of oranges are both one session paintings. (approx 3 hours) The kitchen painting was done in approx. 9 hours and is a lot larger than the other two.

I was trying something a little different with these paintings. I used a limited palette composed mainly of earth pigments and one or two prismatic pigments. Unfortunately, the picture quality is really poor.
